My current title is Ast. Mgr. of Quality. Within the past couple of weeks we've had a fair size lay off and departmental shifts, which means the survivors take on additional responsibilities.

I will now incorporate TS, mfg. forms, and NCMR database into my role. We have an associate that also has an Ast. Mrg. Quality title. Needless to say we're alittle messed up.

My question is: can anyone give me suggestions on new titles to reflect my new roles and current role (PPAPs, CARs, TS, mfg. forms, NCMRs, QA customer reports)?

Senior Quality Engineer

Jo:

Wow, that many hats.......enough for one a day! How about (Assistant) Quality Systems Manager - since most of what you described are 'management systems' related activities.......

Off topic slightly:

CQO (Chief Quality Officer) (with all your hats, maybe appropriate)

Needless to say we're a little messed up

Would a new title help to clear this? Something more important need to be looked into.

I agree with Andy. :agree1: This one might be more appropriate for the additional duties that have been added to your current job.

I definitely agree that more than titles need to be re-evaluated, however, I have no control over that (it is Japanese automotive). I just try to make the best of a bad situation.

I would suggest the following potential titles:

1. Senior Quality Engineer (As Boscoeee suggested)

2. (Assistant) Quality Systems Manager (As AndyN suggested)

3. Quality Representative

4. Quality Systems Monitor

Point taken. Wishing you all the best under the new arrangement.

:2cents:is a title change going to make any difference? So, you have more than one assistant title...define the responsibilities as such. One assistant is charged with x, y, and z; the other with a, b, and c. Not everyone has to have a different title. We have several accountant positions, one works on the purchasing/raw material accounting, one works on fixed assets, etc. (just an example.)

Jo,

A job title is just a label that may or may not cover the actual responsibilities of the individual.

I believe that my Fellow Covers came up with interesting sounding titles, but what really counts is what your job includes and the necessary competency associated with it.

I am sure you have given this some thought....:)

I just hope your boss did too....:(

There's only so much an individual can possibly do..
